The Art of the Archive: A Conversation with Colour
At the heart of the Colours of Morris collection is an unwavering commitment to the transformative power of colour. To create this modern reimagining, the Morris & Co. studio delved deep into the extensive archive, pulling out original drawings and previously unseen pigments specifically chosen to awaken these classic patterns.
From the flowing, organic simplicity of Willow Boughs to the intricate, theatrical drama of Strawberry Thief, each design has been considered anew.
These heritage methods imbue the wallpaper with a tactile, hand-painted soul and a rich, ink-dense application. The result? A premium finish that upholds the impeccable standards defined by William Morris himself in 1861.
